Tonight @ 10pmEST/9pmCST, I’ll be appearing on Arcane Radio – hosted by Lon Strickler of Phantoms and Monsters. Join in to hear some fascinating discussion about cryptozoology, as well as the legendary beasts of Alaska!

Across the United States, witnesses are coming forward to talk about encounters they’ve had with creatures they cannot explain. Hear first person testimony from an investigation that spans twenty states to examine these mysterious true accounts.

In this episode Mark and Seth talk about Bigfoots that lurk in the marshy regions of North America. But first they read a couple letters from YOU, the listener. After answering some listener questions they dive into tales of the Honey Island Creature, and more. Mostly, this is Seth trying to remember a story that he heard about once… Enjoy!

Another episode topic suggested by a listener. This week’s topic was suggested by our pal Kevin Byrd. He asked Mark and Seth to discuss the business side of the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. Who is making money, how much money and where is it going? Is everyone in it just to make a buck?

The 2015 recording was obtained by Charlie Page (Ohio BFRO) in northeast Ohio’s Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) around 11pm in March. There have been sporadic sightings, sounds and track finds near and within this park for decades. It is an amazing, beautiful area but it is not well known outside Ohio.

Has the creature in these two photos from Arlene Gaal’s book In Search of Ogopogo ever been conclusively identified and, if so, what was it and does anyone have any published sources for the identification?

Between June 1764 and June 1767, a hideous series of killings, as grisly as they were plentiful (somewhere around 80 to 113 human victims, plus many injured survivors), occurred in a village-speckled district of Lozère, southeastern France, called Gévaudan. Their perpetrator became known as the Beast of Gévaudan, but more than two centuries of speculation have failed to stem the controversy regarding its precise identity. Just what was the Beast of Gévaudan? An animal? A man? Or something more?
